Why It's Sometimes Difficult To Find Beef Short Ribs - Daily Meal

Image
Short ribs often aren't available in the meat section of the grocery store; you usually have to go to the beef counter, where you're lucky if your grocer has them. According to BBQ Host, that could have everything to do with where you live. The outlet says that beef short ribs are sometimes difficult to find outside the Midwest region of the U.S. because this type of meat is often reserved for specialty stores or restaurants. So, while a specialty butcher might have them, you'll be hard-pressed to find them at your local Kroger. Certain high-end grocery chains, such as Whole Foods, are more likely to stock this cut of meat — but you'll pay a premium for it. Plus, beef "dino" ribs, which are entire beef short ribs that aren't cut at all, are even harder to find, according to Martha Stewart, because of their incredible size. Whether you're searching for dino ribs or short ribs that have been cut, don't confuse them with beef back ribs. Accordin...

15 Tips You Need When Cooking With Avocado - Tasting Table

The margarita is a trendy cocktail drink made in many different ways, starting from the same base: tequila, triple sec, and fresh lime juice. Our classic frozen margarita recipe recommends (to make two margaritas) ½ cup of tequila, ¼ cup of triple sec, and ½ cup of fresh lime juice, but several other recipes combine the three main ingredients differently. A frozen margarita is a cocktail variety served as an ice slush, for which the main ingredients are processed in a blender with ice cubes. Actually, the margarita is so popular that the dedicated frozen margarita machine was invented in 1971, (via Smithsonian Magazine). The ingredient combination in a margarita can benefit from adding several other liqueurs, fruit juice, or fruits. For example, you can use flavored tequila, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier (both have an orange flavor). Margarita works well with various sodas, such as lime, pineapple, and mandarin. Use fruits like mango, peach, strawberry, ban...

Are green tomatoes healthy? Or should you ditch them? - The Indian Express

Image
You must have seen your local vegetable vendor selling tomatoes that are green in colour, especially during winter. This seasonal variety of tomatoes makes for a great savoury staple that can be used to prepare a variety of delectable curries and chutneys. But are they also healthy? To find an answer, we reached out to experts to understand if green tomatoes should (or not) be a part of our diets this time of the year. "The firm texture and consistency of green tomatoes allow them to be used in multiple dishes like chutney, pickle, fried curry, and salsa. Like all other coloured fruits and vegetables, green tomatoes are also a great source of antioxidants," said Garima Goyal, a registered dietitian. No wonder then, food therapist Dr Ria Banerjee Ankola recently took to Instagram to share a recipe for green tomato chutney . "Green tomatoes are so tasty and loaded with vitamin C. So, don't miss them," she said. Recipe to make green tomato chutney ...

15 Recipes To Upgrade Spaghetti Night - Tasting Table

Image
Spaghetti carbonara is a time-tested Roman dish that comes together by rendering chopped guanciale (Italian cured pork jowl), pancetta, or even bacon in a skillet. The crisped pork is removed, while the remaining fat, once cooled, is whisked in a mixing bowl with egg yolks, grated Parmesan, and olive oil. Cooked spaghetti is then added to the egg mixture. This is done off heat, which will ensure a creamy, not scrambled, result. Drizzling in pasta water as needed, you'll then stir in bright, fresh lemon zest, the cooked pork, chopped Tuscan kale that you've briefly boiled and squeezed out, and chopped roasted hazelnuts. Plated and garnished with additional Parm, this gussied-up take on the classic is sure to be a hit. Recipe: Spaghetti Carbonara With Kale And Hazelnuts

Love Island's Shaughna Phillips refused to pay the £1,300 bill for Christmas Dinner - Yahoo News UK

Image
Shaughna Phillips had a Christmas Day disaster credit:Bang Showbiz Shaughna Phillips refused to pay the bill for her Christmas Dinner. The 28-year-old reality star - who shot to fame on 'Love Island' in 2020 - had booked a meal out for Christmas with her family but was subjected to a wait of almost three hours despite arranging things eight weeks in advance. She said: "We got there at about 1 o'clock and it took about an hour and a half for the tasters section of the five-course meal to come out. The waiters, who looked about 16 and as if they were plucked from off the street, had no clue what was going on. They kept asking us what we'd ordered, but it had been eight weeks – we couldn't remember! There were no menu cards in front of us either. At one point, soup came out of the kitchen and when we asked what kind if was, the waiters didn't know. "At quarter to four, I complained that we were still waiting for our main course. When it finally came out, ...

By Susan S. Yeske What do you wish for as we head into a new year? If you hope 2023 will bring prosperity then fill your plate with pork on New Year's Day, a superstition that comes from the fact that pigs root forward, which is a sign of progress. Eat ring-shaped foods to bring the year full circle, and for a full circle of luck in the year ahead. Those foods include doughnuts and bundt cakes, plus some types of pasta. Show off your Irish by eating buttered bread on New Year's Day, staving off hunger for the year ahead. Eat foods that are green to ensure you have financial prosperity according to many cultures. Those include cabbage and collards. Dumplings are the favored lucky food in China, where they resemble gold ingots to ensure prosperity. In Spain, eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve is both a tradition and a superstition. Eating 12 grapes ensures good luck for the next 12 months. I will be eating pork...

As Egypt's economic crisis deepens, an affordable meal is hard to find - The Washington Post

Image
CAIRO — The patriarch behind Abou Tarek, one of Egypt's most famous restaurants, has always been able to depend on koshary. A mix of pasta, rice, lentils, chickpeas, fried onions and spicy tomato sauce, koshary is one of the cheapest and most popular foods in Egypt, so packed with carbs and protein that it can keep even the hungriest customers full all day. Everyone here eats it — from the richest of the rich to the poorest of the poor. But with food prices rising rapidly in the face of a growing economic crisis, even the most low-cost meals are becoming more expensive to make — hitting the margins of koshary kingpins like Youssef Zaki, the owner of Abou Tarek, as well as the pockets of regular Egyptians. Just when Egypt hoped to recover from the pandemic, which saw its massive tourism sector essentially grind to a halt, Russia invaded Ukraine. The war set off a series of unexpected repercussions across the region, hitting Egypt particularly hard. Foreign investors withdrew billi...

The 6 Best Moscow Mule Mugs of 2022 | by Food & Wine - Food & Wine

Image
The Moscow Mule may be a simple drink born from a clever marketing tactic, but it's hard to deny the remarkable refreshment of vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. Adding to the cocktail's appeal is, of course, its traditional copper mug. Not only do these mugs look cool, they function as a mini insulator to keep drinks colder for longer — because no one likes a watered-down beverage. Though far from being the only drink to have a signature glass — just think about beer, wine, or a classic martini — Moscow Mules definitely aren't the same when sipped from any other vessel. Copper mugs are so synonymous with this drink that they're more commonly referred to as Moscow Mule mugs than just, you know, copper mugs, making choosing a set more difficult than it probably should be. Fortunately, we've done the legwork to find the best Moscow Mule mugs on the market (that's a lot of Ms!), so all you'll need to do is click "order now" and assemble...
